However, for Xiao Yan, who possessed Black Rank Dou Techniques, dealing with a Luo Bu wasn't particularly difficult.
"Get lost! Xiao Yan won't go out. I'll go speak to Instructor Ruo Lin myself. I don't need you pointing fingers here!"
Xiao Yu's sexy long legs took a step forward, directly blocking Xiao Yan as she spoke coldly to Luo Bu.
Luo Bu looked at the grim-faced Xiao Yu, pondered slightly, and suddenly smiled. "How about this? If you don't want to go out, then don't."
"However, after all, there are so many new students watching outside. If these few people don't go out to bake in the sun, I'm afraid others will feel a bit unhappy in their hearts."
Saying so, Luo Bu smiled at Xiao Yan: "Since you don't want to go out, then spar with me for a bit."
"Of course, as long as you can last twenty exchanges in my hands, that will do."
"You!" Xiao Yu was just about to explode when Xiao Xue's indifferent voice interrupted her just in time.
"Noisy."
Xiao Xue slightly released a sliver of Soul Power, instantly silencing the entire scene.
Everyone turned their heads to look at Xiao Xue, waiting for her to say something.
Xiao Xue casually used Dou Qi to condense a water cup, took out fruit wine from her storage ring, poured herself a cup, and took a slow sip.
Then, with a playful look on her Face, she looked at the pale-faced Luo Bu. "Your name is Luo Bu?"
"Ye... yes, Great One." Luo Bu was dripping with cold sweat.
Condensing objects from Dou Qi—that required at least a Dou Ling level powerhouse to achieve!
This time, he had actually provoked a Dou Ling powerhouse!
Luo Bu's heart felt bitter. A Dou Ling before the age of eighteen—he hadn't even heard of such a thing, let alone seen one.
Why would such a Genius come here to register?! Shouldn't they be directly admitted to the Inner Academy?!
Xiao Xue said indifferently, "When you're out in the world, don't you ask around about what big events have happened in the Jia Ma Empire recently? Or who you shouldn't provoke?"
"Dueling... are you very good at fighting? What use is being good at fighting?"
"When you're out in the world, you have to talk about background and influence!"
"Yes, yes, yes, you are right." Luo Bu nodded frantically.
This was the one bad thing about old-school power fantasies: these kinds of minor extras were countless and endlessly annoying.
However, given Xiao Yu's looks and talent, Xiao Xue could fully understand her having a few crazy pursuers.
In this kind of situation, a beating was enough. If one beating didn't work, then another, until he was terrified.
Although Xiao Yan could also deal with Luo Bu, to untie the knot, one must seek the one who tied it.
It would be much simpler for Xiao Yu to give these lickspittles a beating herself.
As for going out to bake in the sun for half an hour to dampen the newcomers' arrogance... Xiao Xue's evaluation was that it was simply hard to take seriously.
Never mind Dou Qi cultivators whose physical fitness far exceeded ordinary people; even normal people wouldn't be affected much by half an hour in the sun.
In her past life in China, there was military training in middle school, and standing at attention for half an hour was a common occurrence.
Could half an hour in the sun really serve as a deterrent?
Xiao Xue felt that in the future, she must suggest to the higher-ups of Jia Nan Academy to increase the intensity, preferably organizing some unified training, since she wouldn't have to participate anyway (not).
Indeed, having been drenched by the rain, one learns how to tear others' umbrellas.
"Cousin Xiao Yu," Xiao Xue turned to look at Xiao Yu and held up two fingers, "Twenty moves."
"In twenty moves, I want this guy named Radish to be unable to get up, just like a dead dog."
"Don't worry, as long as you don't kill him, I can save him. I'll take responsibility if anything happens."
After switching to a Black Rank High-Grade Cultivation Technique, Xiao Yu's Dou Qi was several times more condensed than before, and her cultivation had broken through from three-star to four-star.
Against a Luo Bu whose Cultivation Technique was only Yellow Rank and whose cultivation was also just a Four-Star Dou Zhe, twenty moves was more than enough.
Xiao Yu was slightly stunned, then quickly reacted. "Yes, Young Clan Leader."
"Let's go, Luo Bu." Xiao Yu took out her weapon, a Water Whip, and looked at Luo Bu with a wicked grin.
Xiao Yu had been annoyed with Luo Bu for a long time, but she hadn't been able to beat him before, and since it was recruitment time, she didn't want to cause trouble.
But now, with a Fifth-Grade Alchemist like Xiao Xue backing her up, Xiao Yu naturally had no scruples.
It just so happened that after switching Cultivation Techniques, she hadn't had a good fight yet. This 'Radish' was perfect for practice.
Xiao Yu's Dou Qi was also Water Attribute, and the weapon she used was a long whip, just like her Instructor Ruo Lin.
Water Attribute Dou Qi was formless and shapeless. Its effect on a rigid weapon wasn't as good as on a flexible long whip.
Therefore, both Ruo Lin and Xiao Yu used long whips.
Luo Bu looked at the grinning Xiao Yu and couldn't help but shiver, but he still encouraged himself in his heart.
"Before the break, Xiao Yu was only a three-star Dou Zhe. Even if she had a Breakthrough, she'd only be a four-star."

As fellow Four-Star Dou Zhe, it was uncertain who would win or lose, let alone lasting twenty moves.
Luo Bu's thinking was sound, but unfortunately, he didn't consider the possibility that Xiao Yu would have changed her Cultivation Technique.
And then... "Ah~"
"Ah~"
"Awoo~"
